Capuchin monkeys got their name because they looked "capuchin monk"-ey.

They approached, looking all cute and innocent, and one grabbed the camera. I told it "Hey little buddy, that's mine" and got to see all of its teeth 😬. I still got to keep my camera. Now I know to not call them "little buddy". And yes, I let them get their fingers all over my lens because that's how cute they are.

Traveling is all fun and games until a little forest dweller tries to grab your camera when you are walking back to the hotel after a swim in the Pacific 🤣.

from in 2019 when we arrived in . We took a tour that headed to the capital but on the way through the beautiful landscapes of the country stopped by a popular spot where Panamanian White-Faced Capuchins lived in families in the trees. Once we'd stopped they all came down from the upper branches and fruit was offered to them. Far friendlier than the iguanas we saw; speedy, vicious gits.

For , here's a black capped that we saw on the Argentina side of falls last August. It was diligently foraging in the trees. A few minutes later, we encountered another pair that were craftily foraging in a garbage can...

Hi all, time for my —I'm an Australian curious about the evolution of tool use.

I helped establish , worked on various stone tool and projects, and dug up evidence for the Toba supervolcano in India. I've excavated wild and monkey sites, finding 3000 year-old monkey tools in Brazil, and explored the archaeology of wild sea otters. Former and research fellow. I blog at twig.technology.
